What is the Meta Key for a field

[Derek Knox]

Hi Guys

I have created a custom field with User Meta and I want to see that in order to trigger a visibility widget.

How do I find the Meta Key of the field I have created and it is assigned as user meta or another meta type (this is so I can tell the visibility widget in elementor where to look?)

Thank you! Your product is excellent

The documentation for checkbox fieldtype says that there is an option for a metakey to be added for the checkbox field, however it is not there on my install (pro install).

See screenshot here – https://ibb.co/hmQJdyv

See checkbox field in doco here – https://user-meta.com/documentation/supported-fields/#

I really need to be able to call that field and any of the fields for conditionals?

Hi,

With shared fields, user data is saved in usermeta table with the unique metakey.
Also, shared fields can be used across forms and each shared field should have a unique metakey.
So you can find the metakey option for all the fields under “User Meta >> Shared Fields” and can edit the metakey there.
For the screenshot you have linked: that is a shared field and metakey can be found under “Shared Fields”.

Thanks!

Thank you, out of interest is there a metakey for non shared fields?

Yes, there’s metakey for non-shared fields too.
Data is stored with the meta-key and that will provide the facility to make that field shared anytime.

Thanks!

How would I find what that meta key is for the non shared fields? thank you so much
